Nearly every one feels like taking q
little "Outiug" sometime during the
fall. The summer work is over and we
all feel like taking little recreation
before settling down for the winter.
Heretofore the people of Allen county
if they INDUCED this feeling, have had
to go a long distance from home at great
expense. and have returned after all
but little rested. This year, however,
they need not do this. We will have,
right here in lola, within easy reach
of all parts OF the county, an attraction
that will offer every one an opportuni-
ty for q week of solid comfort and en-
jOyment. The Methodist Camp Meet
ing that will be held here from Sept.
to 8, will not be the old fashioned
camp meeting With its ignorant,
though earnest, preachers, its discom-
fort and its unregulated noise and tu-
multi. It will be an assembly of quiet,
cultivated, Christian people. 1t will
be addressed by able and scholarly
men, While the character of the meet
ing will of course be distinctively re-
ligious, yet the program will be varied
and will appeal to all classes. The
grounds will be thoroughly policed
and every provision made for the COM
fort of every one. Families can come
here, bringing their own tent or COW
cred wagon, and live almost as cheaply
as they can at home. And they will
find it a week of quiet rest, of rational
enjoyment, by which they will be lift.
ed up and strengthened and to which
they will look back with pleasure for
a long time. Our word for it that no
family which does this will ever regret
it.
And now it is the Courdnt that has
pain in its abdominal cavity because
the republican call provides that those
desiring to vote at the primaries shall
declare their intention to support the
ticket nominated. We would like to
ask the COurdnt-and we want a can
did answer-whether it is willing to
concede that a man who enters into
any political convention is in any way
bound by the action of that convention?
Does the COurant consider it good
political morals for man to attempt
to dictate nominations that he does not
intend to support? Ii the first question
is answered in the negative and the
second i'm the affirmative-ast the Cour-
ants remarks about the republican call
would imply----we would like to ask
what is the use of political conventions
at all? If a man is to be allowed to
take part in convention and yet feel
under no obligation whatever to sup
port its nominees, of what use is he to
the party? If all men held themselves
at liberty to act in this wayhow would
political or party organization be posi-
bic? We hope the able and intelligent
editor of the C0urdnt will give these
questions careful and honest consider
alton.
We wish to remind our horticultur.
lists, agriculturists and stock raisers of
the meeting of the Fair committee to-
morrow. The meeting will be held at
two o'clock at the G.. A. r. Hall and
as final arrangements are to be made
it is of the highest Importance that
there be full attendance. The Com
mittee will be glad to have all who
are interested in the success of the
Fails meet with them whether they
have been personally notified or not.
The Fair is bound to be q success, but
the whole burden of the preliminary
ought not to be shifted
onto the sholders of few. Let every.
body take hold.
Now that the date of the democratic
has been fixed it is in order
for any one wishing to present his
claims before that august body to make
that fact known. The REGISTER
therefore places its columns at the dis.
posal of all such aspirants, assuring
them that it can give their announce
ment fee s., invariably In advance)
a wider circulation than all the demo.
cratic papers in the county. 1t can al
so give them a ''send off" that will
make their head swim. Walk up, gen.
tlemen. We will announce your cam
didacy now as cheerfully as We will
your defeat next November.

We have no hesitation this week in
positively announcing that We are to
have a new hotel. Mr.. Fisher has
torn down the old part of the Pennsyl-
vania Central and has begun work on
the large addition, the dimensions of
which were given last week. The
work will be crowded so as to have the
building completed before winter. Mr..
Piester is doing the stone and Mr..
Wood the wood work.
The chief interest in the District
Court this week centers in the Samuel
